Expectations

This youth camp has to be the best camp ever. Therefore we need the help of the participants.

Every country has to prepare one evening game e.g. something really popular in your country.

There will be an evening for every country where they can present their culture.

Before the youth camp, of each participating country the four participants have to come together to prepare their trip.

Also the coordinator of the group has some responsibilities.

The coordinator will be the one who is responsible for the four participants.

He/she has to prepare a meeting before the youth camp starts.

All the communication is done through this person.

Price

We don’t know the exact price yet. Without funding, this camp will cost €500 + travel expenses. Although, we are trying to keep the price of this camp beneath €300, by searching funding from European institutions and eventually also funding from the industry. But at this moment we really cannot guarantee this. You will know the exact price before the end of March. Of course, you can also find some additional funding in your country on your own.
